This is how a bunch of mine from the B2G1 sale came, but I ended up with a few freebies and can live with the bends on those ones.

But in good news, I got some other great stuff recently

Yea, already got the replacement going, and able to keep this one. Gonna play it in a bit, and hopefully it's just the corners bent and the record is flat to PIF.

Yep, a couple of mine ended up over there when they were able to send replacements too. Not a bad deal.

I have been away for a week and haven't posted any finds. I actually sold a few records in the past month or so and have managed to buy a few British jazz big hitters which I will share in a few days.
Stan Tracey Trio - Perspectives (Columbia, 1972 First Pressing)
Lol Coxhill - Ear Of Beholder (Dandelion Records, 1971 First Pressing)
Mike Sammes Singers & The Ted Taylor Organsound - Hymns A' Swinging (Davjon, 1968 First Pressing)
Lita Roza And The Tony Kinsey Quartet - Listening In The After Hours (Decca, 1956 First 10" Pressing)
I have been really enjoying Stan Tracey's music for a while now and 'Perspectives' was an album that alluded me for a while. I actually bought a copy 2 weeks ago online but the seller sent it in a single jiffy bag with no padding so it arrived crumpled, bent, and creased. I got a refund and returned it and a few days later got a cheaper copy which is actually in better condition! Lol Coxhill is quite the character that dabbled from avant garde, to jazz rock. His 'Ear Of The Beholder' is perhaps his most well known album and for good reason, its fantastic. This copy cost a grand total of....£8! Which leads me to the strangest pick up, 'Hymns A' Swinging', a fantastically bizarre psychedelic jazz album that features Tubby Hayes. Each track is a reworking (massively in some cases) of a hymn and it works surprisingly well. Finally, one of Tony Kinsey's earliest recordings which features him and his quartet alongside vocalist Lita Roza.
Major Surgery - The First Cut (Next!, 1971 First Pressing)
The Bill Le Sage - Ronnie Ross Quartet (World Record Club, 1964 First Signed Mono Press)
Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars - Volume Three (Contemporary Records, 1986 OJC Signed Pressing)
Some really interesting releases here. Major Surgery started as a jam session at Croydon’s Dog and Bull pub but turned into a regular residency that resulted in a single album, the 1971 'The First Cut'. They sold a couple hundred copies at the time and fast forward a few decades later and the producer Malcolm Mills found a box of 100 unplayed copies which he packaged up as a numbered run with a certificate and new 'liner notes'. This one is No. 034/100. I actually own copies of the Bill Le Sage & Ronnie Ross and the Howard Rumsey (a 1960 pressing) but these have the added bonus of being signed and only cost a few quid. The Howard Rumsey is particularly special as it was signed at the International Jazz Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 19th August, 1991 which the previous owner attended and had the album signed by Shorty Rogers, Bud Shank, Bob Cooper and Monty Budwig. He also included the original ticket stub and a handbill/flyer.
BBC Transcription Disc - The Don Rendell Quintet & The Kenny Graham Band (BBC Transcription Disc, 1962 First Pressing)
BBC Transcription Disc - The Johnny Scott Quintet (BBC Transcription Disc, 1967 First Pressing)
BBC Transcription Disc - Wavedon '73 Jam Session with John Dankworth (BBC Transcription Disc, 1973 First Pressing)
BBC Transcription Disc - Wavedon '76 The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Conducted By John Dankworth (BBC Transcription Disc, 1976 First Pressing)
These might not be the most fun to look at but the BBC Transcription Disc's were an incredibly important to British music. The BBC commissioned and recorded all types of musicians (including some live festival performances) which would then be sent out across the world with specific instructions to destroy the discs after a certain date. Only 100 were typically pressed per release and many of these were destroyed as per the BBC's instructions.....but several were not. Releases by the bigger names musicians can go for silly money so I feel extremely lucky to have got these, especially the Don Rendell release.
Amancio D'Silva - Integration (Columbia, 2017 Pheon Pressing)
Aretha Franklin - Spirit In The Dark (Atlantic, 2022 Vinyl Me Please Exclusive Pressing)
A couple of reissues to round it off. I have never even seen a copy of Integration in the flesh so I thought I would try out the only reissue its ever had. Plus I managed to get the Aretha in the VMP sale for what seems like a great price.
